Ingredients
- 5¼ oz unsalted butter
- 13 oz plain or sweetmeal digestive biscuits, crushed
- 8 large limes, juice and zest
- 1 pint double cream
- 14 oz tin sweetened condensed milk
- crystallised lime zest
- 1 lime, thinly sliced
Method
- Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan and stir the crushed digestive biscuits into the melted butter until every crumb is coated.
- Press the biscuit mixture lightly into the base of a deep 9-inch loose-bottomed fluted flan tin and chill the key lime base in the fridge.
- Put the lime juice in a large bowl, add the double cream and sweetened condensed milk, and whisk the filling for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Stir the lime zest lightly through the whisked filling so the zest stays visible.
- Pour the lime filling over the chilled biscuit base, set the tin on a tray, and chill the easy key lime pie in the fridge for 1 to 2 hours, until set.
- Lift the set pie from its tin and decorate it with the crystallised lime zest and the thin lime slices before serving.
